Abstract
Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms are rare cardiac abnormalities that may be congenital or acquired. Patch closure or direct closure of the aneurysm orifice is a frequently performed surgical repair strategy. In this report, we present a rare case of an isolated giant right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm with aortic insufficiency and right coronary artery obstruction. We treated this patient by a valve-sparing aortic root remodelling procedure with partial preservation of the intact Valsalva sinuses and coronary artery bypass grafting with a favourable outcome.
